The Aksumites in South Arabia: an African Diaspora of Late Antiquity Chapter 11 The Aksumites in South Arabia: An African Diaspora of Late Antiquity George Hatke 1 Introduction Much has been written over the years about foreign, specifically western, colo- nialism in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as about the foreign peoples, western and non-western alike, who have settled in sub-Saharan Africa during the modern period. However, although many large-scale states rose and fell in sub- Saharan Africa throughout pre-colonial times, the history of African imperial expansion into non-African lands is to a large degree the history of Egyptian invasions of Syria-Palestine during Pharaonic and Ptolemaic times, Carthagin- ian (effectively Phoenician) expansion into Sicily and Spain in the second half of the first millennium b.c.e, and the Almoravid and Almohad invasions of the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages. However, none of this history involved sub-Saharan Africans to any appreciable degree. Yet during Late Antiquity,1 Aksum, a sub-Saharan African kingdom based in the northern Ethi- opian highlands, invaded its neighbors across the Red Sea on several occasions. Aksum, named after its capital city, was during this time an active participant in the long-distance sea trade linking the Mediterranean with India via the Red Sea. It was a literate kingdom with a tradition of monumental art and ar- chitecture and already a long history of contact with South Arabia. The history of Aksumite expansion into, and settlement in, South Arabia can be divided into two main periods. The first lasts from the late 2nd to the late 3rd century 1 Although there is disagreement among scholars as to the chronological limits of “Late Antiq- uity”—itself a modern concept—the term is, for the purposes of the present study, used to refer to the period from ca. 200 A.D. until the fall of the Umayyad Dynasty in 750. It should be noted that the period within which the Ethiopian kingdom of Aksum held sway only par- tially overlaps with the timeframe for Late Antiquity adopted here, while the period within which Aksum was active in South Arabia began sometime before 200 and ended nearly two centuries before 750. © George Hatke, ���� | doi:10.1163/97890044�5613_01� This is an open access chapter distributed under the terms of the CC BY-NC 4.0 License.

The second began around the turn of the 6th century and is characterized by the appointment of local vassal kings, brought to power through military invasions, to rule Ḥimyar on Aksum’s behalf. Although the period of direct Aksumite rule of Ḥimyar ended sometime between 531 and 540, Ethiopians of Aksumite origin maintained an importance presence in South Arabia. Only with the conquest of South Arabia by the Sāsānid Persians ca. 570 was Ethiopian rule brought to an end. In addition to their military and political activities in South Arabia, the Ak- sumites were also active in the region as merchants. Of such commercial ac- tivities South Arabian inscriptions have nothing to say, though it must be stressed that direct references to commerce are relatively rare in such inscrip- tions during all periods. As we shall see,3 ceramic evidence from Qāniʾ, located on the southern coast of Yemen, indicates an Aksumite presence there. Apart from Qāniʾ, however, archaeology has until now brought to light little data per- taining to the Aksumite presence in South Arabia at large. Even Ẓafār, the capi- tal of Ḥimyar and a town at which the Aksumites are known to have estab- lished a significant presence, has yielded no more than a single potsherd of (possible) Aksumite origin.4 Before proceeding, a few words about the terms used for the Aksumites and their settlements in South Arabia are in order. Inscriptions in the Sabaic lan- guage, left by both Sabaeans and Ḥimyarites, refer to the African subjects of Aksum as either “Aksumites” ʾks1mn (*ʾAksūmān) or as “Ethiopians” ʾḥbs2n (*ʾAḥbūshān), Ḥbs2n (*Ḥabashān), and Ḥbs2tn (*Ḥabashatān). The nisba Ḥbs2y (*Ḥabashī) “Ethiopian” is also attested.5 It is likely that the former ethnonym designates specifically the Geʿez-speaking inhabitants of the city of Aksum and its environs, while the latter refers to the various other groups dwelling in the northern highlands of Ethiopia who were subject to Aksum. In addition, armed divisions of Aksumites are designated in Sabaic by the term ʾḥzb (*ʾaḥzāb), which is derived from Geʿez ḥəzb “people, tribe, crowd, nation” but is attested in Sabaic only in the plural form (cf. Geʿez pl. ʾaḥzāb). The singular form is, however, used in a 6th century Syriac text, the Letter of Pseudo-Simeon of Bēth Arsham, which in one instance seems to refer to the Aksumite resi- dents in South Arabia as ḥezbā.6 A number of Sabaic inscriptions allude to the 2 Except where otherwise noted, all dates mentioned henceforth refer to years of the Common Era (a.d.). 3 See §4. 4 Yule, Late Antique Arabia, pp. 104; 105. 5 Ja 576+Ja 577/28 (Jamme, Sabaean Inscriptions, pp. 77; 78–79 [line 12]). 6 Shahid, Martyrs, p. iii (Syriac text). George Hatke - 9789004425613 Downloaded from Brill.com09/26/2021 02:45:35PM via free access <UN> The Aksumites in South Arabia 293 settlements established by the Aksumites in South Arabia, specifically in the Tihāma region, as ʾʿṣdn (ʾaʿṣādān).7 Like ʾḥzb, this term is also attested exclu- sively in the plural form in Sabaic and is derived from Geʿez (ʿaṣad “village, farm, enclosed area, field”; pl. ʾaʿṣād). To date, these Aksumite settlements are known only from Sabaic inscriptions and might well have been of an ephem- eral nature—perhaps camps, or at most small villages, rather than towns. If and when it becomes possible once more to conduct research in Yemen, ar- chaeological surveys of the Tihāma may well locate such settlements. In Syriac sources, Aksumites are generally referred to as Kūšāyē (sg. Kūšāyā), literally “Kushites”,8 a term derived from the Hebrew name for the Nubians (Kūšîm < Egyptian K3š), but at times as Hendwāyē (sg. Hendwāyā), literally “Indian”, the latter a very fluid term that occasionally designates South Arabians, in addition to people from India proper. Greek sources, though at times referring to the Aksumites as Ἀξωμιτῶν, more commonly calls them simply Aἰθιoπῶν “Ethiopi- ans”. The latter ethnonym, like Syriac Kūšāyē, referred originally to the Nubians but was adopted by the Aksumites in the mid-4th century as the equivalent of Geʿez Ḥabaśat (> Sabaic Ḥbs2t)9 and is used for the first time by the ecclesiasti- cal historian Philostorgius (d. 433) as a generic term for the Aksumites.10 Finally, medieval Arabic authors designate the Aksumites by the generic term for Ethiopians, al-Ḥabasha, less commonly al-Sūdān “the blacks”. A few such authors knew of a town or region called Aksūm or Akhshūm—the latter form reflecting the Tigrinya pronunciation11—and were even vaguely aware of its ancient past12 but, while Aksūm is attested as a personal name in Arabic sources,13 the Aksumites are never referred to as such in Arabic. 7 For an extended discussion of such settlements, see Shitomi, “Note”. 8 Only once in Syriac literature, in the Ecclesiastical History of John of Ephesus (d. 586/8), are the Aksumites referred to as ʾAḵsīmīṭōn, a calque on Greek Ἀξωμιτῶν (Hatke, Aksum and Nubia, p. 161 [n. 681]). Since the relevant passage deals with a group of Aksumite visi- tors to the Nubian kingdom of Alodia, it has no bearing on the present discussion. 9 Hatke, Aksum and Nubia, p. 52. 10 Murray, “Review: East of Suez”, p. 80. 11 Hayajneh, “Abessinisches”, p. 505. 12 The Egyptian historian Aḥmad bin ʿAlī al-Maqrīzī (d. 1442) and the 16th-century Yemeni scholar Shihāb al-Dīn bin ʿAbd al-Qādir ʿArabfaqīh are both aware that Aksum was an ancient city (Hayajneh, “Abessinisches”, pp. 502–503; ʿArabfaqīh, Tuḥfat al-zamān, ed. Shaltūt, p. 322), while Muḥammad bin ʿAbd Allāh al-Azraqī (d. ca. 865) mentions “the land of Aksum” (bilād Aksūm) as the place where the Ethiopian king resided (al-Azraqī, Akhbār makka, ed. al-Ṣāliḥ Malḥas, p. 137). 13 E.g. al-Aksūm bin Aswad bin Yāsir in the genealogy of the South Arabian tribe of Dhū-Manākh preserved by al-Ḥasan bin Aḥmad al-Hamdānī (d. 950s) in his Kitāb al-Iklīl (Müller, “Aksum”, p. 220).

One of the most significant long-term results of this contact was the diffusion of Semitic speech from South Arabia to the Horn of Africa. Attempt- ing to determine a precise date for this development is all but impossible and, since the diffusion of Semitic speech was undoubtedly a long process, inap- propriate. Whatever the case, a turning point in relations between the two sides of the Red Sea came in the first half of the first millennium B.C. when South Arabia, in particular the kingdom of Sabaʾ, began exerting a significant cultural impact on northern Ethiopia, one aspect of which was the use of the Sabaic language and the South Arabian musnad script in inscriptions. That a pre-Sabaean Semitic language or group of languages already existed in Ethio- pia at this time is evident from the lexical and morphological idiosyncrasies which occur in Sabaic inscriptions from Ethiopia but are absent in the ancient inscriptions from South Arabia.14 Likewise, the Ethiopian branch of Semitic, which includes such languages as Geʿez, Amharic, Tigrinya, and Tigre, is char- acterized by numerous morphological features not attested in any of the writ- ten languages of ancient South Arabia, which strongly suggests that an older form of Semitic was introduced to the Horn of Africa well before the first mil- lennium b.c.

Kehoe, Ph.D. Co-Director ________________________ F. Thomas Luongo, Ph.D. Co-Director ________________________ Thomas D. Frazel, Ph.D AN ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the role of Gregory I (r. 590-604 CE) in developing permanent ecclesiastical institutions under the authority of the Bishop of Rome to feed and serve the poor and the socio-political world in which he did so. Gregory’s work was part culmination of pre-existing practice, part innovation. I contend that Gregory transformed fading, ancient institutions and ideas—the Imperial annona, the monastic soup kitchen-hospice or xenodochium, Christianity’s “collection for the saints,” Christian caritas more generally and Greco-Roman euergetism—into something distinctly ecclesiastical, indeed “papal.” Although Gregory has long been closely associated with charity, few have attempted to unpack in any systematic way what Gregorian charity might have looked like in practical application and what impact it had on the Roman Church and the Roman people. I believe that we can see the contours of Gregory’s initiatives at work and, at least, the faint framework of an organized system of ecclesiastical charity that would emerge in clearer relief in the eighth and ninth centuries under Hadrian I (r. 772-795) and Leo III (r.
